This won’t sit well with everyone, but Lightning isn’t pleasant to work with if you’re not running your own node. You hit walls quickly. And the wallet inconsistencies just make it worse.
It’s not a design flaw. it’s just a different philosophy. At one point, there was even a spec for a “verify” URL to check payment status, but it got shut down for encouraging what they called lazy programming.

quoting note1ezq…pmstCashu is seriously impressive. If you’re building anything Lightning-related, definitely consider using Cashu. It’s super versatile & really easy to work with.
Minting and melting are literally just two simple API calls each, that’s it. You can even send payments directly to Nostr public keys, nutstash.app already supports that & NWC with budget limits.
It’s genuinely solid work. There’s so much potential here, and I think we’re just scratching the surface.
